****Hershey Handbell Ensemble Christmas
Sunday December 3rd, 3:00PM at the Clubhouse
A holiday event that should not be missed awaits you at the Sweet Arrow Lake Clubhouse, 108 Clubhouse Rd., Pine Grove, in commemoration of the 100th Anniversary of the lake. Join us on Sunday, December 3 at 3:00pm for “Christmas at the Clubhouse” featuring the Hershey Handbell Ensemble. This auditioned ensemble was formed in 2004 and is based in south central Pennsylvania. Formed to fulfill the need for a community based group that is able to play advanced handbell arrangements, this fifteen member ensemble performs seasonally in April and December under the direction of Dr. Shawn Gingrich in churches, nursing homes, and even the “White House.” They perform on seven and a half octaves of Malmark Handbells, four octaves of Petit and Fritzen handbells, Handchimes, silver melody bells, and other assorted instruments. The ensemble seeks to advance an interest in handbell ringing through education and performance of this beautiful musical art. If you would like more information about the ensemble, please visit their website or Facebook page. Light refreshments will be served after the program.
Due to limited space, reservations are necessary to guarantee seating. To make reservations or for info call 570-345-8952 only (leave a message).
